The Marc, apartment 704
same building · same street address (501 forest ave); the listing names no unit · toured 30 Oct 2026, 15:42
An airy seventh floor perch where glass walls open onto leafy treetops, fresh and private, with a dated kitchen and an uncooled bedroom.
A different or unconfirmed unit in the same building: the building findings apply, while finishes, floor, light and noise inside the listed unit may differ.
What b. saw
- Floor to ceiling glass onto a 27 ft balcony with an open treetop view from the 7th floor
- Washer and dryer inside the apartment
- Plenty of storage for 675 sq ft, including a long walk in closet
Watch outs
- No dishwasher, despite the listings
- Air conditioning in the living room only; 2009 refrigerator and coil range
- No Ethernet, no ceiling lights in the main rooms, and a popcorn bedroom ceiling in a 1965 building
Listing claims the tour contradicted
- Dishes are washed by hand in a single bowl sink. The amenities page, RentCafe, ApartmentList and Knock also list a dishwasher.
- True for many units, not for 704. The Zillow snippet also says shared laundry only.
Building
- Getting in: good: Seventh floor by elevator (listed, not filmed), then a level carpeted corridor and no step at the door; lobby and parking not filmed
- Water on site: unknown: Not shown: a heated pool open year round is listed, but its fence, gate and distance from the elevators were not filmed or researched
- Building structure: unknown: A 1965 twelve story high rise; its structural type and any seismic retrofit were not filmed or found in research
- Old paint and materials: watch out: Built in 1965, so the federal lead paint disclosure applies; popcorn texture on the bedroom and hall ceilings; fresh paint seen
- Packages and parking: unknown: Not filmed: listings say staff accept packages and one space is included, covered or underground; a parcel sat at a corridor door
One bedroom apartment (Plan A); seventh floor; listed at $5,544 a month on 2026-10-30; available now
b. has toured 28 homes for rent in San Mateo, Palo Alto, Mountain View, San Jose and Cupertino. It is not a listing feed and does not cover every rental.
How the check works
b. reads only the text of the link, such as the street address in a Zillow or Redfin address, and never opens the listing page. It matches the address and unit against 28 homes it toured in person in Palo Alto, Mountain View, Cupertino, San Jose and San Mateo. A match on another unit in the same building is labeled as such. Recorded rents are dated, not current offers.
